ChannelingFrom "Channeling: A Comprehensive and Instructional Guide" by Ezekiah

In order to discover what type of Channel you may be, you do not as yet need to discover what it is you expect to achieve with your Channeling connection, but it would help. To know where you plan to go will help you chart a course to get there. Is your objective only to open up a connection to your higher self to know yourself better and better your life? Are you hoping to contact a greater force in order to be a tool that force can use to bring a message to the world? Do you want to be a healer? A teacher? A counselor?

To know the answers to these questions is important when it comes time for you to focus on which type of Channeling you will finally pursue. But to start, the exact answers are not needed. You simply need to have a gut feeling you can use to help light your way. Do not be surprised if the direction you start out hoping for is not the one you end up with.

There are more important questions you will need to address first. For example, do you have the time to commit to an in-depth, full-time Channeling relationship? Are you comfortable talking to people in a group? Do you have any desire to work one on one with people? Do you like to write? Do you have the self-confidence?

Here is a basic outline of what people with different types of Channeling abilities are suited to do. Some of these occupations can be entered into with just your Channeling training. Some may require additional education in a more conventional sense. Be sure to understand that the following descriptions are by no means meant to be the only ways different types of Channeling abilities can be applied. They are only common examples. No one is required to do anything she does not wish to do with her Channeling abilities, and of course, talents can be combined in countless ways.

Let us start with the intuitive, non-intrusive talents such as instant inspirations, Channeled voice, and Channeled visions. Persons who have developed these talents are wonderful counselors and emotional healers. They naturally sense what a person needs and can usually find the solutions to the person's problems. Many people with these talents go into counseling, reiki, herbal healing, and other such careers. They use their intuitive powers to decide what the spirit of their client needs and then prescribe the correct herbs and supplements.

Automatic writing in the lower levels can be very revealing. Based more on higher intuition of the person doing it than the thoughts of the spirit inspiring it, it is a doorway to the soul. Automatic writing is often used to help one make choices in her life. It can help you understand what your real inner thoughts are, even if they are clouded by your more forward thoughts and concerns.

As automatic writing progresses, it can be used as a very steady and reliable source of spiritual information. Once a firm, clear contact is made with the spirit you work with, there are few limits to the highest levels of automatic writing. Through automatic writing the spirit can use you to give advice, counsel, and words of wisdom for the masses. Many people who polish their skills at automatic writing become authors of books and websites. Others use their automatic writing skills to relay messages from individuals to the spirit they work with in order to obtain answers to questions, advice, and the like.

At its best, automatic writing is as clear as stage 7 Channeling ability. With all the power of the written word, automatic writing can, and has indeed for thousands of years, changed the world around you.

The first few stages of shared body Channeling are seldom used beyond that which transpires between the Channel and the spirit partner. But as you grow in stages, you may find that your ability is utilized by the spirits around you to help others. Many people use their lower levels of shared body Channeling ability to help them make decisions, advise people, and heal. With just this simple level of sharing, the healing and comforting abilities of the average person can become an outstanding tool. People who have a natural healing ability will find those abilities expand exponentially when augmented by the abilities of the visiting spirit, and the power will be amazing.

As you enter the higher levels of Channeling abilities, the objective of your work slowly becomes less of your own choosing, but rather that of the spirits you choose to work with. Though it must be stated that you can easily refuse any contact you do not wish to have. So, if your spirit partner's vision of what to do and your own do not match, you are under no obligation to bend to his will. In fact, a spirit partner should never push you to do what you truly do not want to.

Clear Channels are best suited to be teachers. Not just teachers in that they are vehicles higher spirits use to teach others, but that they themselves become teachers. This is because as clear Channel's share the consciousness of their spirit partner, they are learning, if only by a rewiring of their brain's hardwiring, to think and be like the higher being they Channel.

The spirits who work with stage 6 and 7 shared body Channels and full body Channels will teach their human counterparts to be healers, teachers, and even peacemakers and leaders as fits their shared objective.

As I said at the beginning of this chapter, this is an extremely brief look at what someone with each of the different Channeling skills can apply those skills to.
